new exhaust help!

Ok what i have now is pacesetter lts with a pacesetter ypipe and a magnaflow bullet type exhaust with a turndown right at the back axle. well i liked it when i had the tsp ypipe but had to change it for the umi tunnel mount tq arm.It was loud but sounded good and pretty deep.Now with the new thinner y-pipe it sounds good at idle and light cruising but at wot its to raspy.looking to see if there is somthing i can replace the magnaflow with or something all together. by the way this is a cammed and bolton car.

I would think the Borla would be just as loud, what about running the pipe out the back?

Ran that for years and never liked the look of the pipes sticking out the back. Def will have to be dumps on whatever i do.If it was a transam i would def do it since it looks ok with them but not a camaro. Im just looking for another sound not necessarily quieter becouse its not a daily driver. What about a spiral flow anyone running a single one of those?
